Trevor Lawrence Secures Historic Five-Year, $275M Extension with Jaguars

The Jacksonville Jaguars solidified their commitment to quarterback Trevor Lawrence by announcing a groundbreaking five-year contract extension worth $275 million. The deal cements Lawrence as the franchise’s premier player for the foreseeable future.

Speaking on the extension, Jaguars General Manager Trent Baalke expressed his confidence in Lawrence’s talent, work ethic, and leadership, highlighting the alignment of the player’s objectives with the team’s vision for a championship.

Lawrence, the number one overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, conveyed his gratitude for the opportunity to continue his career in Jacksonville. He emphasized his love for the city, now considered home, and his excitement for the journey ahead in pursuit of a championship.

Throughout his three-year tenure with the Jaguars, Lawrence has been a key figure, completing over 11,000 yards passing and earning 58 touchdowns. His leadership on and off the field has garnered the respect of his teammates, who have named him a team captain every season.
